If you have complicated feelings about the verdict for Sean Combs, the music mogul known as Diddy, you are not alone. He was found guilty Wednesday of transporting prostitutes, but jurors cleared him of the most serious charges — racketeering and sex trafficking. What does the verdict mean? Three shows come at it from very different angles. On “The Daily,” Ben Sisario explains why the prosecution’s case fell short, while Jodi Kantor reflects on what the verdict means in the aftermath of #MeToo.
